    I guess the guy who played the werewolf in this film, played werewolves and other monsters in a few other Spanish horror films. He's got the growl and physicality of a wolf-man, but as a man there's nothing interesting about his character. Vampire women are always supposed to h...( read more)ave a seductive quality, but the actresses don't even reach this expected potential. All the performances are of the quality of a bad made-for-tv movie. Another boring, ill-conceived horror pic.

    This movie has about 5 Different titles Werewolf Shadow, aka Blood Moon, aka Nacht der Vampire (West Germany), aka Shadow of the Werewolf, aka The Werewolf Versus the Vampire Woman (USA), and Walpurgis Night (Spain) (literal title). This is a Paul Naschy film, one of the greates...( read more)t European werewolf actors there ever was. The Director is León Klimovsky. This one is about Paul being a werewolf battling a vampire who just happens to be a women. @ women are traveling through the countryside My guess Spain, when they happen to come across a man who is willing to help them, Unknown to them he is a werewolf, he falls in love with one of the girls. So we have a werewolf trying to save his girlfriend from a vampire. Having seen a number of Paul Naschy Films, this one is not the best or the worst, The Werewolf is made up as one of the best I have ever seen. But over all the movie only gets 3 stars.

    So, this guy is a werewolf and he doesn't want to be a werewolf so he moves to a castle where a famous female vampire is supposed to live so that he can be alone and away from people. When a pair of female students breaks down near the castle, they bring the vampire woman back t...( read more)o life accidentally. Now it's time for the Werewolf to battle the Vampire Woman.
    The werewolf makeup doesn't look bad and the vampire woman is kinda hot but the movie is junk and isn't worth watching.

    Amuzing.
    But it has it's major flawes. What the hell did his sister has to do with anything? Why didn't they show more snuffings? Why was it that the girl only wanted to stay in the castle after her friend got turned in to a vampire and then killed by the man of the house, Paul N...( read more)aschy? Was it in fact the main actresses that was retarded and not the sister of the wolf? Can a werewolf suck the blood out of a vampire?
    Questions that may never find an answer.
    As far as movies on the subject werewolves sv. vampires, this was a good one.
    Much better than Underworld anyway.

    'Le messe nere della Contessa Dracula' ! first movie feat. P.Naschy
    i've ever seen. A monster hero, a loser, he had and has my simpathy. Not so long time ago, Naschy was in person, here in Trieste as guest star for SCI+FICTION Festival . He tried to explain the romantic mood o...( read more)n his movies, and i don't know how many people understood his words.
    I got it, Mr. Naschy, you're great!

    Pretty bad, but some cool scenes with cute vampire ladies.
  • October 14, 2008
    This was a real snoozer. When the werewolf and Vampire Women finally do square off they roll around on the ground for about 20 seconds and that's it...Krud

    Why do I do it to myself? The best part was the beginning and they way the vampires walked, more like floated that was cool. Other than that it's just another crappy horror flick,
